She's Gone
Jack Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody's high on consolation
Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me
I need a drink and a quick decision
Now it's all up to me
Just what will be

She's gone
Oh I, oh I
I gotta learn how to face it
She's gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace her
She's gone
Oh I
What went wrong

Got up in the mornin'
Look in the mirror
I'm warn as a toothbrush hanging in the stand
My face ain't lookin' any younger
Now all I can see is love takin' her toll on me

[Chorus:]
Think I'll spend eternity in the city
The carbon monoxide chokes my thoughts away
And the girls help dissolve the memories
But they can never be what she was to me





[Chorus:]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jack Soul's song "She's Gone" depict the aftermath of a breakup, with the singer feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. The opening lines suggest that everyone around him is offering advice or consolation, but it's not what he needs at the moment. He just wants a drink to help him make a decision about his next steps. The chorus repeats the phrase "She's Gone," emphasizing the magnitude of the loss he's feeling. He expresses a desire to learn how to face it, but also admits that he would do anything to replace her, including making a deal with the devil. The final verse speaks to his wistful memories of the relationship and the way that love has taken a toll on him.


The song's emphasis on the singer's internal struggle adds to its emotional weight, and it has become a favorite among fans of soulful ballads. The lyrics are open to interpretation, allowing listeners to project their own experiences and emotions onto the song. The use of repetition in the chorus helps to hammer home the idea of loss, driving the point home even further. One interesting aspect of the song is its nod to city life, with the singer imagining himself spending eternity among the carbon monoxide and the girls. This suggests a kind of bleakness to the urban environment, but also highlights the way that the city can be a source of distraction from emotional pain.
